How To Do Pageant Makeup For Beginners | Easy Step-By-Step Tutorial

Whether it’s for evening gown, swimsuit, or onstage question, the first law of pageant makeup is "more is more." Under hot stage lights, heavier makeup is a must. All the Miss America contestants had to do their own makeup which meant I had to learn quickly. Over the years I've learned that there are multiple ways to do things and different techniques that work for different people.
You just have to experiment and practice to see what works for you, your face, your budget, and your abilities. Like any skill, getting good at doing your makeup is something you have to develop with time and consistency.
You don't need to buy a ton of new makeup, BTW. It seems like makeup companies are always trying to sell us a new eyeshadow palette amirite? When it comes to doing your own makeup for a pageant, you just need to know how to work with what you've got. For instance, layering your foundation twice (letting it dry in between), wearing double sets of eyelashes, and using generous amounts of lipliner are all things that will give you more oomph.

    This is so helpful!!! I noticed that most tutorials were by Caucasian queens and as an East Asian person I could never figure out how to enhance my eye shape! :) Thank you so much for this tutorial!

    Ya I feel you! I remember back in 2013 when I was trying to figure all this out and I googled around and there were no pageant tutorials done by asian people so I just sort of hacked it from tutorials I watched done by a Hispanic titleholder. The biggest thing I’d say for us is to really blend that Smokey eye while also not being afraid to deepen the color on the outer corners. I also forgot to mention that after you do your makeup, take a picture with flash and make sure it’s heavy enough that you can still see your features. More is more! Just make sure to blend everything well (esp eyeshadow and blush/contour) and it will look good!

    I like using neutrals; taupes, browns, olives, and accenting with muted blushes and golds. They tend to be more universally flattering and are more on-trend these days (ie versus the brighter blues and pinks of the 80s.) Don’t be afraid to experiment, take photos, review them, and adjust from there!

    Hi @Crystal Clues! I am new to your page and love it. Also, I am new to pageantry outside of school. You mentioned for Miss America that you had to learn how to do makeup. Currently, I am interested in competing in a local Miss America pageant. Do you know if the same rules for must do own makeup apply locally? If not, how do you suggest I book a makeup appointment between interview and show time?

  • @melanieloucheche

    I'm not Crystal, but have competed with Miss America for years :) You cannot have a makeup artist with you backstage at any locals, and no state competition (as far as I know) allows candidates to use them, period. If it's a one-day local pageant and you *really* want to, you can get your base face done offsite by a makeup artist before check-in, and then add any additional contour/eyeshadow/etc yourself between interview and onstage competition. (I've done this - not against the rules as long as the artist doesn't come to the venue!) That gets to be expensive, though - I recommend just getting a hair and makeup lesson. It's cheaper in the long run and a great skill to have.

    hi Easal - thanks for this video topic request! That's a really good idea! Honestly, the best place to find poses is to skim through pageant dress designer online catalogs and see how the models are posing in studio photoshoots ;) for instance: www.sherrihill.com/collections/fall-2020/
